More bad news for as the economy grows much faster than predicted! 🤣

"US economic growth was even stronger in the third quarter than previously estimated, underscoring the economy’s remarkable resilience in the face of elevated inflation and high borrowing costs earlier this year."

I'd be more worried about the Green candidate as the most likely spoiler. The Libertarian Party knows what they're doing too, they're just repulsive to most of us. Maybe RFK Jr. washes up over there.

Anyone else, e.g. No Labels, be skeptical until you hear they're registered as a legit political party in your state, and have an official candidate.

Okay, end of political screed. You can have your life back. 😉 (5/5)

So bottom line, unless I see some evidence that these supposed "independents" or a No Labels candidate have a competent organization already working now to qualify their candidates for the ballot, it's much ado about nothing.

Once RFK Jr. said he wasn't going to challenge in the primary, that's when I knew he's toast. There's no evidence he has the organization to qualify for the ballot. The rest of the Kennedy family has renounced him. (4/x)

In the November 2024 general election, again each state has its own rules to qualify for the ballot. That means you need to have fifty organizations figuring out how to do it, if you're not the D or R candidate.

If you're the Green candidate, e.g. Jill Stein, they know what they're doing. But RFK Jr. or someone else like Joe Manchin running as an independent? It's almost impossible unless you have a lot of money, e.g. Perot. (3/x)

Not just in the primaries, but also in the general election.

If you're not part of the party's "establishment," it is really tough to qualify for the primary ballot if you don't know what you're doing. Dean Phillips is a non-issue unless he has boots on the ground already in NH, SC, the Super Tuesday states, etc.

Caucuses are even tougher, because you need to turn out people willing to go to a caucus to vote for you. If you don't have a local organization, you lose. (2/x)

Warning, random screed in which I invoke my Poli Sci degree and personal experience with presidential elections ...

In 1991-1992 I worked on a campaign for a fringe Democratic presidential candidate. Spoiler, he didn't win.

For all the fuss about RFK Jr., Jill Stein, Dean Phillips, etc. challenging , I wanted to point out a few basic realities.

Each of the 50 states has its own unique rules for qualifying for the ballot ... (1/x)

Idle thought ...

Elon Musk bought Twitter and changed the name to X, including a stylized "X" logo.

The Nazi Party logo is also a stylized "X."

Musk is now suing media outlets for reporting his anti-Semitic posts on Zombie Twitter.

Hmmm. 🤔
